  1. Bullshit. Use a side-wheel can opener and the lid will be preserved with no sharp edges. I fold a small square of plastic wrap for an even tighter fit, sandwich it between the lid and the can, and secure with a rubber band length-wise. Perfectly economical way to store something that I’m going to use within a week.

  2. Not really ‘storing’ when you just can’t be bothered transferring to another container.

    Still, I’ve never worried about it even though my mum and grandparents freaked about it.

    Having said that, I presume most cans these days are aluminium/aluminum and I’m sure back in the 80s that was considered a risk for Alzheimer’s/dementia.

  3. I'm 62 and it's been beat into my head for so long not to store food in cans that I would never do it even though I know that it is now perfectly safe. I don't even keep food in glass containers longer than 3 days (just a preference).
